There was actually a great many reasons to doubt it, first and foremost the
masked part, and so it was until the author drowned us under tons of reason to accept it weeks after weeks for years. Facts that in insight make little to no sense.
And even with all those facts backing this notion there was something fishy about it (hence the large amount of theories that had him as someone else,
anyone else) until his true identity became painfully obvious -although if memory serve you were among those quite adamant he couldn't possibly be Obito even when no other answer made sense.
Long story short, the readers didn't believe him outright (in fact the most popular first guess was Obito until it stopped making sense), had to be worked over quite hard to buy it and even then invented complicated stories to try to make sense of it all because the mere " Tobi is Madara" made none.

Personally I feel no emotional impact about it save a mild annoyance and Obito is only really connected to Kakashi. As far as the rest of the characters are concerned it's who's this guy and what's his problem?
